Beyond policies and people management, HR is central to nurturing the ownership culture, fostering trust, and embedding employee voice at every level. 

This session will explore the evolving responsibilities of HR professionals in employee owned businesses — from aligning people strategy with ownership values, to shaping inclusive cultures that empower employees as co-owners, not just workers.

What You'll Learn

  1. Reflect on the distinct challenges and opportunities HR face in EO businesses, and how their role supports both governance and engagement
  2. Discover how to design and implement people and culture strategies that reinforce the values of shared ownership
  3. Explore future-focused themes such as succession planning, talent retention, and how HR can drive long-term sustainability and cultural resilience
